Berea College, founded in 1855, began when the area around it was
only a village. As the College grew, the town grew and, in 1890, the
community was incorporated.
The City of Berea has a current population of some 10,000, and, in
1988, was designated the "Arts and Crafts Capital of Kentucky." The
designation has its roots at the College, which long has been known
for its tradition of producing and preserving the handcrafts of Southern
Appalachia.
The College is located near the center of the city, where Kentucky's
Bluegrass Region meets the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains. Easily
accessible, Berea is located 42 miles south of Lexington, Ky., just
off Interstate 75.
